We can take pride in our many achievements in health, including being at the forefront of Aboriginal Health Work practice in Australia.

The Aboriginal Health Worker structure examples our continuing efforts to build a unique, flexible, culturally appropriate, and locally grown health workforce, built on innovation and excellence.
